Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the instruction of Music as a component of Creative Art and Design in Junior High Schools within the Kwabre South District of the Ashanti Region. Utilizing a descriptive survey research design, the study focused on a target population of 16 teachers from Junior High Schools in the district. Data were collected primarily through semistructured interviews. Findings revealed that most teachers responsible for Creative Arts instruction at this level possess degrees in fields other than Music, which has impacted their effectiveness in teaching the subject. The main challenges identified in teaching Music and Dance include a lack of teaching instruments, teachers' negative attitudes towards the subject, and the absence of textbooks. The study recommended conducting workshops for Creative Art and Design teachers, with a particular emphasis on Music and Dance, to better equip them to teach and prepare students for the Creative and Design curriculum, now an examinable subject in basic schools.
